SMALL GAME HUNTING AT THE LOCAL COWARD GUN CLUB
February in St. John's, Newfoundland. A blizzard is brewing outside, while inside the Hazel restaurant, a hotspot for townies and tourists, a perfect storm of sex, betrayal, addiction, and manipulation is about to break. A waitress from "round the bay," a wealthy restaurateur and her chef husband, a selfpunishing waiter, and a couple of hard-partying baymen are all part of the rising pressure, while a young Indigenous woman watches, barely noticed, until she is revealed to be the very heart of the story.
This is blistering Newfoundland Gothic for the twenty-first century, a wholly original, bracing, and timely portrait of a place in the throes of enormous change, where two women confront the traumas of their past in an attempt to overcome the present and pick up the future.
Megan Gail Coles is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and the National Theatre School of Canada. Her completed plays include Our Eliza, The Battery, Bound, Falling Trees, Grace, and Squawk. Her first collection of short stories, Eating Habits of the Chronically Lonesome, won several awards and earned her the one-time Writers' Trust 5x5 prize. Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club is her first novel.
